Hugh Freeze mega thread and poll [merged]

[griddie]

I will say I'd take Freeze over Pruitt.

Having said that Liberty's schedule was paper thin:

Western Kentucky - 5-6
Florida International - 0-5
North Alabama (FCS) - 0-4
UL Monroe - 0-10
Syracuse - 1-10
Southern Miss - 3-7
Virginia Tech - 5-6
Western Carolina (FCS) - 0-3
North Carolina St. - 8-3 (L)
UMass - 0-4

Granted their 1 loss was to an 8-3 NCST and by 1 point but that is by far their toughest game of the season. It will be interesting to see how they do against Coastal Carolina.

VTech destroyed NC State

 

[griddie]

Not yet they aren't, Liberty hasn't earned that yet. App St. has been doing it several years now.

Yeah Liberty is hardly a juggernaut when considering football.

VTech destroyed NC State

And?

I’m hearing if A coaching move is made at Tennessee Billy Napier will be the number one choice he’s the coach of Louisiana Lafayette and he’s from Cookeville Tennessee.

And he’s turned down every school who has pursued him. It’s doubtful he’d consider this toxic place.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

I don’t think we would want to play Va Tech this year either. They may be down but they could handle us in a close game.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Everyone is mesmerized by the two Alabama upsets. Look at everything else is all I’m stating. I certainly believe he is better than Pruitt but that is a low threshold to beat.

Pruitt almost has the same SEC winning pct as freeze did even before his games were vacated

 

[airvols]

Well I have a question, if you won’t hire Freeze because of violation, then you must fire Pruitt for the same thing. Maybe different sins but both sins, hypocrisy at its best, just assume all winning programs cheat and you can move on and consider things like wins and losses.

 

[Skullbone]

Hugh Freeze is too good of a football coach for TN. We'll get a really nice, outstanding human being to be our coach. And he'll probably suck. Write down every exciting name and impressive resume out there and then wad it up and throw it in the trash. Cause we ain't getting none of that. Sorry for the negative vibes, but those are my honest feelings about it right now.

Pruitt is 0-9 vs the HCs that matter. Freeze is 6-5. Pruitt is at Tennessee. Freeze was at Oke Miss, who was 2-10 the year before he arrived.

If Sam Pittman beats Saban 2 out of the next 3 years and also picks up wins over Smart and Mullen that would be equivalent to what Freeze accomplished at Ole Miss in a state with little talent divided 2 ways.

Everyone else cheats. About time tennessee got in the game

We did remember, we got caught..

 

[Skippy95]

I’m just going to leave this here for y’all. Get fired up.

GBO!

 

[SmileyVol_c/o_10]

I’m not enamored by Freeze as a coach. He’s .500 against quality P5 teams. He would have the NCAA looking at our program very closely. The only thing I think most ppl like about him is that he wants to be here and fix it. Part of me likes that about him if true tho.

 

[Fatman Photos]

6-21 in SEC games.

 

[KingtUT]

But the W/L record is a little deceiving. It’s equivalent to UT playing Appy State/ETSU every game.

And Georgia St?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

And Georgia St?

Talking about Freeze. No one is bad as Pruitt IMO.

 

[SaintLouisVol]

I don't think Freeze gave Auburn the finger. I think they backed off.

Let's see....
Competed every year, in the SEC West.
Beat Saban a few times.
Went to bowl games, and won.
Beat Florida.
He did all of this, with Ole Miss talent.
Oh, he did get busted, and brought down NCAA Sanctions, on The Rebs.
But, hey! That's the past, right?

 

[mikec143]

The under age girl allegations don't bother you?

They are just that, allegations. No proof what so ever. Don’t judge from rumors and allegations. He deserves a second chance.

 

[CamWinfree]

Interesting post. Wonder what it means?

Not if Bailey was QB. VTech was not that good.

He also got Liberty ranked in their third year of FBS play with as he said it half a team of FCS players.

Apparently the NCAA doesn’t agree if what was posted above is true.

The NCAA is TRASH. Make the hire and call their bluff. What’s the worst that can happen? A 3-7 season? The death penalty? Give me a break. A death penalty would be merciful at this point.
